Contributing to Plane

Thank you for showing an interest in contributing to Plane! All kinds of contributions are valuable to us. In this guide, we will cover how you can quickly onboard and make your first contribution.

Submitting an issue

Before submitting a new issue, please search the issues tab. Maybe an issue or discussion already exists and might inform you of workarounds. Otherwise, you can give new informplaneation.

While we want to fix all the issues, before fixing a bug we need to be able to reproduce and confirm it. Please provide us with a minimal reproduction scenario using a repository or Gist. Having a live, reproducible scenario gives us the information without asking questions back & forth with additional questions like:

3rd-party libraries being used and their versions
a use-case that fails

Without said minimal reproduction, we won't be able to investigate all issues, and the issue might not be resolved.

You can open a new issue with this issue form.
